Personally, I don't understand the resistance to Obama's 16 month
withdrawal. The Status of Forces agreement has us out of the cities by
June, and out of Iraq in 36 months. Al-Maliki states an earlier
withdrawal if OK by him. The Sunnis seemed concerned by our leaving, but
there seems to be an effort to address their issues. I mean, Iraq is
looking relatively stable, though fragile, and we can use the manpower in
Afghanistan, where things look to be going downhill.
Afghanistan will be President Obama's Vietnam.
Gad, i love these pronouncements from Mt. Olympus. You're beginning to
sound like BAR. I thought you were a lot brighter.

Consider that in your memory, one of the mightiest militaries in the
world, couldn't keep Afghanistan under it's control


We're all aware of Afghanistan's history. Too bad Bush shot and wasted
our wad in Iraq, eh? Well, stupid is as stupid does.
